-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make the impossible, possible!
This is what we practice this faith for.
Let's all become courageous challengers,
earnestly chanting daimoku,
and by being victorious let us prove the justice and truth of our movement.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You will grow younger, and your good fortune will accumulate."

(The Unity of Husband and Wife - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1,
page 464) Selection source: Q & A on Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, September
7th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The essence of devilish functions is to deprive people of their benefit and
even their lives (cf. WND-1, 87). This is achieved through undermining
people's resolve. Such functions work to destroy people's desire to seek and
continue advancing on the path to attaining Buddhahood. Consequently, people
who persevere in faith and stay firmly committed to moving forwards on this
path will remain impervious to attacks by these negative functions.
Developing such inner strength is the true purpose of our Buddhist
practise."

OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN, [10] "Letter to Misawa", translated Sep. 1st, 2008

journal.
